"I'm not interested in appealing to the mass market, or selling millions of copies."
I’m replaying the first game it’s great. It’s not for everyone no doubt. There are still a lot of people playing it.
Then why do a sequel straight away?
Why not something else like maybe a horror game similar to Silent Hills but rebranded into a new IP.

To be honest, he is in a great situation if he doesn't have to make a mass market product. Means he can make what he wants. I think that's great.
Bungie has publicly responded to accusations surrounding plagiarism of artwork featured in its upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon.
For some reason this reminds me of issues artist have brought up regarding AI 'art'. Where literally everything is sourced from other artists. Invluding AI art in games seems like a legal nightmare.
If AI is left alone as a free platform similar to what we did with the internet, it wouldnt be an issue. But if we allow companies to patent parts of the i termet as theor own walled gardens, then yes, there would be patent wars and legal nightmare.
As to this, the title is misleading, the game’s art is not plagiarism, someone included a painting(s) that beloned to some artist, in the code.
Well, do you think companies should be able to include AI generated art in their game if the art is generated using the work from other people? Or should AI art be considered original and the source work be considered inspiration?

NS, is dominating!
Funny how the console with 'no games' outsells its key competitor by nearly 1 million units.
It's crazy to think that Xbox turned into a mobile app this gen (I called it years ago by the way.). Going from a clumsy but promising start in the 360 to this is shocking. The levels of mismanagement in this company is actually stunning.
